What defines a molecule as an α\alphaα-amino acid?

A

Both the amine (−NH2-\text{NH}_2−NH2​) and carboxyl (−COOH-\text{COOH}−COOH) groups are attached to the same carbon atom.

B

Two amine (−NH2-\text{NH}_2−NH2​) groups are attached to the same carbon atom.

C

The amine (−NH2-\text{NH}_2−NH2​) and carboxyl (−COOH-\text{COOH}−COOH) groups are attached to different carbon atoms.

D

The amine (−NH2-\text{NH}_2−NH2​) group is attached directly to the carboxyl (−COOH-\text{COOH}−COOH) group.
